The height of any point $P$ above the surface of earth is equal to diameter of earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at point $P$ will be : (Given $g=$ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth)

A

$g / 2$

B

$g / 4$

C

$g / 3$

D

$g / 9$

(JEE MAIN-2022)

Solution

$g =\frac{ Gm }{ r ^{2}}$

$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{(3 r )^{2}}$

$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{9 r ^{2}}$

$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{9}$
